Benefits of technology

The present invention offers methods and systems that can provide better performance and efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

As low cost real-time broadcasting platforms become widespread, the problem of how to effectively manage and protect media content in real-time without human monitoring is becoming more important.
But these existing solutions require pre-processing and pre-ingestion of content.
For real-time events, such as sports and news, pre-processing and pre-ingestion of content is not possible.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]The ensuing detailed description provides exemplary embodiments only, and is not intended to limit the scope, applicability, or configuration of the invention. Rather, the ensuing detailed description of the exemplary embodiments will provide those skilled in the art with an enabling description for implementing an embodiment of the invention. It should be understood that various changes may be made in the function and arrangement of elements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

[0020]FIG. 1 shows an example embodiment of a system for copyright protection of real-time content in accordance with the present invention. Video content 10 is provided to a fingerprint ingesting device 12 and to a broadcast device 16. The fingerprint ingesting device 12 generates a first fingerprint for content 10 and provides this first fingerprint to a central server 20. The first fingerprint is associated with one or more business rules f...

Abstract

The present invention provides methods and systems for fingerprint-based copyright protection of real-time content. A first fingerprint is provided for content from a fingerprint ingesting device to a central server. The first fingerprint is associated with one or more business rules for the content at the central server. At least one of (a) a second fingerprint is provided for the content from a broadcast device to the central server, and (b) a third fingerprint is provided for the content from a receiving device to the central server. The first fingerprint is then compared with the at least one of the second and third fingerprints at the central server. One or more corresponding business rules may then be determined for the content based on the comparing.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 269,492 filed on Jun. 24, 2009.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the field of copyright protection. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and systems for fingerprint-based copyright protection of real-time audio, video, and audio-video content, such as broadcast content, multi-cast and uni-cast content, streaming content, and the like.[0003]As low cost real-time broadcasting platforms become widespread, the problem of how to effectively manage and protect media content in real-time without human monitoring is becoming more important.[0004]Fingerprint-based recognition systems have been developed to address the issue of non-real-time video file protection. But these existing solutions require pre-processing and pre-ingestion of content. For real-time events, such as sports and news, pre-processing and pre-ingestion of content is not possible.[0005]It ...
